Location: Smarteel, Right Outside Ilen Technologies Research Base
Time: Mid-Afternoon
Time: Mid-Afternoon
Peering from a pair of binoculars, Lily managed to conclude that the company must hire some of the most patient people in the galaxy for security guards. She could barely imagine spending more than half a day watching people do nothing, let along stare out at the sand for the same period of time. Thankfully she managed to get to a position overlooking the entrance just before the shift ended so she didn't have to actually experience it firsthand. She mentally made a note to ask the security guards how they managed to watch sand for half a day if any of them were taken down non-lethally. Who knows? The ability to stare out at nothing for hours on end might actually come in handy in the future.
Looking at it, they managed to get pretty lucky in choosing days to attack. The wet season was just about to start on the planet and there was enough cloud cover that any cameras would fail to catch the spaceship until it was too late. Hell, she was just under four kilometers of the base and they still didn't seem to notice or care that she was there. Either the security had gotten extremely sloppy or they had some really bad sensors. Both were factors that worked in her favor and while she would like to figure out which one it was, she wasn't likely to do it now.
Movement drew her attention back to the guards and she smiled as she watched the guards regroup near a few parked speeders. Group by group, they boarded a speeder and sped off towards the nearest town and soon the last speeder was outside. Checking the watch on her HUD they had about nine minutes to land, disembark, shut down the warning system, get into the elevator, and get underground so they could do it again. Not the most insane or suicidal thing she ever had to do. Tapping the side of her helmet quickly to activate her comm, she checked that the channel was secure before talking.
"Guards are gone, nine minutes on the clock till the next shift gets here. Ya guys better land soon." Lily spoke as rapidly as she could while remaining coherent before shutting off her comm. Slinging her rifle onto her back as she put away her binoculars, she quickly pulled the camouflage tarp off her speederbike and jumped on. Today was going to be a fun day, she thought as she pulled the throttle back as far as it could go. With a roar the machine launched forward, sending the two of them towards the entrance of the base.
